Hank Schut's Motorcycle Lifetime Adventures, B.C., Canada: Oct 20, 2008

Preamble

My first few postings will be a brief history of my motorcycles I have owned through the years and their highlights, starting from 1966 to 2014... 48 years of riding

My blog is design for:
1.) to make a book (photo album) of my motorcycle adventures. I will have this blog printed off into a coffee table top hard covered book.
2.) for the public to view and promote motorcycle riding through-out the beautiful country sides of British Columbia, Canada.

What is my appeal for riding a motorcycle?

... the freedom it provides; not boxed into a vehicle, more aware of your surroundings.

... to experience the "smell"... of a clover-field, hay-fields, freshly cut grass, of wet pavement just after a hot day, farmers fields, and more

... the sounds of life around you.

... to ride with friends experiencing the same problems, excitement, belonging to a group

Yes, motorcycles are dangerous... just two wheels on the pavement, other vehicles do not see you and have no respect for you, always exposed to the weather and road conditions, bugs on your teeth, sore butts, sore throttle hand, sore back, but it is all worth it... we are alive and doing what we like to do... ride............

Oct 20, 2008 - Christmas Toy Run.

Caroline and I went on this year's Toy Run... leaving from Fred Deeleys, Vancouver... going straight through down-town Vancouver. The police, volunteers have blocked off all intersections through the down town core, so the entire motorcycle parade would ride as a group. Great ride, but very slow! We drove across Lion Gate Bridge and ended up at Ambleside Park.

after a short break, we all headed up into Surrey... this time without the police escort. We all ending up at the Cloverdale Fair Grounds.
